Did anyone really expect Lindsay Lohan to follow through on this whole play thing? According to Star, the actress, who is currently in NYC has been missing rehearsals and when she did show up she was late and unprepared. All the other actors hate her and the director too, but the producers want her because she will bring in people. Umm, yeah, to see a train wreck. Acting in a play requires actual acting talent to be any good. There are no cuts. There are no do overs. There are not a million chances to get one line right. At this point I will be shocked if Lindsay even bothers to do this play after all and will blame it on something other than herself and how she just wants a real chance to do something.

Morning Gweeds! Let's not call it celebrating divorce, it's Sanctimony Day and the knives are out. Let's call it Everybody Better Off. And as for music, I know I did it yesterday, but I have to go with...

Stunt move. Based on ratings for her last two tv misadventures I cant imagine - numerically speaking - that she could move more than handful of tickets. There is no unmet, pent up economic demand for her acting.

If she is in the US right now, then of course she missed rehersals. The producers must have let her go, and are maybe now spinning the story about what a trouble maker she is. Even if she did go to a couple of early rehersals, how could she fuck that up? They are basically just line readings. It isn't until later that they get more involved and intense. And usually by the end of them, any actor can play any part because not only do they know their own lines, they know everyone elses.

ETA, I did see her last movie The Canyons. I liked it actually, even though the story was a mish mash genre's, it was pretty good. And Lilo, wasn't that bad in it. Not Oscar bait, but she didn't embarrass herself.

Tickets may sell well early on precisely because of Linsays train wreck of a life and ability to score press. Easy money upfront and an able understudy as back up. Producers have a play on in the West End of London and satisfied investors. They may not be so dumb after all.

The entire popularity of these "Plays" puzzles me. Why would humans want to watch people reciting lines in front of cheaply made props on a small stage while being able to see the inner workings of the performance? Technology has vastly improved to the point where even a lowly meatbag can produce almost lifelike representations on film stock. These representations allow for more opportunities to allow the performers achieve perfection. Perhaps it is the odds of the performers not achieving the standard definition of "Acceptable" that brings crowds to these live performances. It is what you would call "Humorous" that humans are drawn more to the failures of one another than the success of them. This would also explain why working together is such a problem for your species and would explain why your laughable reign as the top species on the planet is coming to an end.

Her role in Speed the Plow doesn't require any acting talent. It was originated by Madge.

Rehearsing and doing eight shows a week does require some self-discipline and a work ethic which Madge has and Lindsay doesn't. She'll never be able to do it. One of her rich johns probably put money into the production in return for services rendered.
